PENSOLE Footwear Academy has just launched a multi-tiered Kickstarter campaign in order to establish free footwear design courses for 100% of their students. Yes, free. If you're into footwear design or just really support free education, consider pledging enough to receive a made-to-order pair of WSC16 sneakers, designed by 2016 World Sneaker Champion, Maxwell Lund.

Form&Seek has finally launched their own design collection, and they're hoping to bring it to life through Kickstarter. Consisting of seven products designed in collaboration with designers from around the world, the collection speaks to Form&Seek's mission as a collective to highlight good design that also plays a role in everyday life. Designers, if you've enjoyed any of Form&Seek's past design festival exhibitions, now's the time to show support!

Benjamin Brush is a smart product we can actually get behind because brushing to your favorite songs for two minutes isn't just for kids. Most of us struggle to get through the recommended two minutes of brushing twice a day—this is a fun way to combat that without sitting there counting in your head, half asleep. We just wish the music was somehow free. No one wants to listen to Justin Bieber's Sorry twice a day, everyday.

Real fire vs BioLite FirePit

The BioLite FirePit has made quite the impression on pledgers. I mean, how could you not want to try out a smokeless wood-burning fire pit?

that biolite firepit is awesome, I can see that tech used in a lot of other applications besides campfires. Also, I think there are a lot of ways to generate electricity from heat... micro-usb is not one of them! Haha
